Chris ThompsonProfessor of medicine at Harvard Medical School and chief of interventional gastroenterology at Mass General Brigham
Thompson argues that more diagnostic information is almost always better, though he acknowledges whole-body MRI can trigger risky follow-up tests.
“But again I think more information is better, almost in all circumstances, with diagnostic stuff”

Thompson recommends wearing a CGM for a month or two to learn which foods spike glucose rather than wearing one permanently.
“I wouldn't say wear it all the time, get one for a month or two, learn what spikes your glucose, see if something spikes your glucose and adjust it”

Andrew HubermanAmerican neuroscientist, professor at Stanford School of Medicine and host of the Huberman Lab podcast
Huberman argues that physicians who resisted patients obtaining CGM and lab data have largely come around, and that such pushback tends to fade.
“But now that CGMs have been out for a couple of years, I don't hear much pushback”
